arch/tile: finish enabling support for TILE-Gx 64-bit chip

2011-05-12T19:52:12Z

This support was partially present in the existing code (look for "__tilegx__" ifdefs) but with this change you can build a working kernel using the TILE-Gx toolchain and ARCH=tilegx. Most of these files are new, generally adding a foo_64.c file where previously there was just a foo_32.c file. The ARCH=tilegx directive redirects to arch/tile, not arch/tilegx, using the existing SRCARCH mechanism in the top-level Makefile. Changes to existing files: - and changed to factor the include of in the common header. - and arch/tile/kernel/compat.c changed to remove the "const" markers I had put on compat_sys_execve() when trying to match some recent similar changes to the non-compat execve. It turns out the compat version wasn't "upgraded" to use const. - and were previously included accidentally, with the 32-bit contents. Now they have the proper 64-bit contents. Finally, I had to hack the existing hacky drivers/input/input-compat.h to add yet another "#ifdef" for INPUT_COMPAT_TEST (same as x86_64).

arch/tile: support TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME

2011-05-02T22:53:35Z

This support is required for CONFIG_KEYS, NFSv4 kernel DNS, etc. The change is slightly more complex than the minimal thing, since I took advantage of having to go into the assembly code to just move a bunch of stuff into C code: specifically, the schedule(), do_async_page_fault(), do_signal(), and single_step_once() support, in addition to the TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME support.

arch/tile: support 4KB page size as well as 64KB

2011-03-10T18:17:53Z

The Tilera architecture traditionally supports 64KB page sizes to improve TLB utilization and improve performance when the hardware is being used primarily to run a single application. For more generic server scenarios, it can be beneficial to run with 4KB page sizes, so this commit allows that to be specified (by modifying the arch/tile/include/hv/pagesize.h header). As part of this change, we also re-worked the PTE management slightly so that PTE writes all go through a __set_pte() function where we can do some additional validation. The set_pte_order() function was eliminated since the "order" argument wasn't being used. One bug uncovered was in the PCI DMA code, which wasn't properly flushing the specified range. This was benign with 64KB pages, but with 4KB pages we were getting some larger flushes wrong. The per-cpu memory reservation code also needed updating to conform with the newer percpu stuff; before it always chose 64KB, and that was always correct, but with 4KB granularity we now have to pay closer attention and reserve the amount of memory that will be requested when the percpu code starts allocating.

arch/tile: bug fix: exec'ed task thought it was still single-stepping

2011-03-01T21:19:58Z

To handle single-step, tile mmap's a page of memory in the process space for each thread and uses it to construct a version of the instruction that we want to single step. If the process exec's, though, we lose that mapping, and the kernel needs to be aware that it will need to recreate it if the exec'ed process than tries to single-step as well. Also correct some int32_t to s32 for better kernel style. Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf

arch/tile: handle CLONE_SETTLS in copy_thread(), not user space

2010-12-17T21:56:50Z

Previously we were just setting up the "tp" register in the new task as started by clone() in libc. However, this is not quite right, since in principle a signal might be delivered to the new task before it had its TLS set up. (Of course, this race window still exists for resetting the libc getpid() cached value in the new task, in principle. But in any case, we are now doing this exactly the way all other architectures do it.) This change is important for 2.6.37 since the tile glibc we will be submitting upstream will not set TLS in user space any more, so it will only work on a kernel that has this fix. It should also be taken for 2.6.36.x in the stable tree if possible. Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf Cc: stable

arch/tile: parameterize system PLs to support KVM port

2010-10-15T19:38:09Z

While not a port to KVM (yet), this change modifies the kernel to be able to build either at PL1 or at PL2 with a suitable config switch. Pushing up this change avoids handling branch merge issues going forward with the KVM work. Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf

arch/tile: Use

2010-10-14T18:34:33Z

With this change we now include into the "tile" version of the header. To take full advantage of the prototypes there, we also change our naming convention for "struct pt_regs *" syscalls so that, e.g., _sys_execve() is the "true" syscall entry, which sets the appropriate register to point to the pt_regs before calling sys_execve(). While doing this I realized I no longer needed the fork and vfork entry point stubs, since those functions aren't in the generic syscall ABI, so I removed them as well. Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf

arch/tile: fix formatting bug in register dumps

2010-09-15T15:17:05Z

This cut-and-paste bug was caused by rewriting the register dump code to use only a single printk per line of output. Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf
